Remy Hair Products

This is a look at different type of hair on the market today.

Virgin Indian Remy: Origin India. This natural hair is collected from temples
after women sacrifice their long strands in a religious ceremony.
Sometimes called temple hair or virgin Indian, it is very desirable
because it is left in its natural state without any chemical
processing. This hair comes in a dark color
only, usually an off black 1B color. A great perk is it can be
treated just like your natural hair and can be highlighted or colored.
The versatility and longevity of virgin Remy hair is well worth the
price tag. price $$$$

Indian Remy: Origin India. High quality Indian hair that
has been processed or colored but still has all cuticles intact and
running in the same direction. This hair is also very
desirable because of its quality. The difference between the virgin
hair is it comes in different colors not
found naturally with Indian hair. If you want high quality and don't
want to dye the hair yourself, this is the way to go. $$$$

Non-Remy Indian: Origin India. This hair is collected from
special brushes given to local women. The hair is extracted from the
brushes, processed then sold at a lower price. The cuticles are not
all collected in the same direction causing it to easily tangle and
shed. price $$$

Virgin Remy Chinese: Origin China. This hair is collected from
individuals that sell their hair. There are no religious ceremonies
or special conditions except voluntary donations. Sometimes venders
will sell this hair under the name "Malaysian" giving it an exotic
appeal and charge more money for it. It comes in dark colors only.

Processed Chinese Hair: Origin China. This hair is collected
after someone receives a haircut. It is non-remy hair and needs to
be processed. Most of this hair is sold in beauty supply stores. The
hair is often stripped from the cuticles and silicone or dimethicone
is placed on the hair to give it a shiny look. This also keeps the
hair from tangling or matting. Unfortunately, these chemicals wash
off after a few washes causing the hair to tangle and become
difficult to manage. The quality of hair varies on how well the
chemical processing is done. It is usually mixed with non-Remy hair
to give it a fuller look. Price $$$
